Time discussion

Post by Ivo »

Ok so far only me and Raz from this forum. I used to play with Sarouk (from Canada) back in the day and I know he's pretty flexible with hours.

I'm not that flexible with hours and depending on session lengths I may need to take a "food break" depending on starting time. The longer stretch of time I can make available is if I take lunch relatively early and then would have a number of hours free. Because there is a 5 hour difference from East Coast of America (U.S. and Canada) my 12:00 onward period is your 8:00 onward period. I can already guess people are not eager to get up at 8:00 to play D2, but 9:30 may be acceptable and 10:00 should really be acceptable if you can have lunch at 13:00 or 14:00 that's probably enough time.

If we pick up someone from the West coast then all this goes to heck though.

Sounds good, but I work from 1200-2200 GMT on saturdays, I'd love to do it. I just don't think the time difference is going to do me any favours at all.

We could just play on Sundays as well, 2 sessions per Sunday with a break for whatever each person may need it?

I think we will go for Sunday only then. Niode, if you want in at the moment I believe you will have to take the Barbarian. Can I reserve the Barb slot for you? The Assassin may be freed up if Zentis doesn't "make it", but I think he will.

UPDATE:
We are doing it on Sundays then, several of the 7 would have trouble doing it on Saturday, and it also gives me more flexibility as I can do other stuff on Saturday without worrying about making it on time. We will start on the 13th, play on the 20th, probably conclude on the 27th.

I presume the 1st session each Sunday can be fitted right after Europe lunch / before US East lunch
2nd session sometime after US East lunch and still before Europe Dinner if people are slightly flexible with their meal times.

We have a full roster of 7, but 2 or 3 are not 100% confirmed yet. I think we will do it with 1 of each class, it's more elegant that way.

As soon as everyone has confirmed they are actually ready and 100% doing it, let me know (by PM if you want). I use MSN, if anyone uses it PM me their info perhaps? Otherwise PM me an e-mail address? It's not really necessary as we can all meet in Battle.net on the 13th, but anyway.

We could try it on HC, but I can see it going horribly, horribly wrong :P Duriel was always a pain, and with 7 people busy schedules we won't necessarily be grinding out before doing bosses (although I hope we do all the quests).

I'd personally prefer not doing it HC, but I'd like the team to play as if it was HC and be careful not to have anyone die (in normal we should be able to). But imagine we get a lag spike, or someone gets dropped by their ISP, or we one of the 7 players isn't as careful and hits a Lightning Enchanted causing someone else to die...

Looks like I'm out. Blizzard decided to ban me from East and West again for no reason. Last time they did this it was for months. I'm just getting the generic message about my "modem" having issues. Yeah, right. Still works on europe and asia servers.
